(A Map!) - Alliance From Hell

To help facilitate random local meets, or otherwise familiarising each other with ourselves, I present... A MAP! As more people are added, we may add some additional filtering or colour coordination.

To be added to the map post, PM, kmail, etc, the following information:(1) Player id and player name(2) Home / primary clan(3) Name, address & brief description of a local establishment you enjoy.

I do not expect (nor want!) your personal address or phone number, rather places you'd like to share with the rest of the world. Additionally, if there are any notes you'd like added about this place, please note so accordingly. Ideally the places are close enough that someone visiting an area could say "Oh hey, player X is in this city, we could totally do their recommendation and visit place Y!".

I hope to visit some of you at your local favourites in the near future!

It's over an hour away from where I live, but it's worth the trip. Perfectly cooked steaks, huge portions, outdoor wood grill where you can watch (and smell) the meat being cooked, absolutely fabulous. I was just there tonight, delish.

That's less than two hours from where I'm currently at also. Great food.

Nothing exciting on the menu (unless you fancy XXL size Schnitzels) but there's only few places you can see people at 8 a.m. having their after work beer and booze. Yes, they really come from work around that time.

My favorite meal to eat out is breakfast, so pretty much everywhere that immediately came to mind was a breakfast joint, including this place. Tasty food and milkshakes about 15 minutes north of the Golden Gate.

I third this as absolutely delish. Small spencer medium rare, yum yum. (The small spencer is their ribeye, and small is huge).

No, this is good. Imo's is bad. Toasted Rav is OK. But Ted Drewe's is good (and really close to where I live now).

Completely agree that Imo's is totally, outrageously, completely over-rated. I didn't grow up in St. Louis, so perhaps I don't "get it". But to me, pizza is not "cracker thin crust + provel cheese + sausage, cut into squares".

If only it was just provolone...provel is some insane concoction of provolone + swiss + possibly some other cheese (wiki says cheddar, some people say mozzarella, I thought I heard it was just the first two). If you weren't born in the St. Louis area, you abhor it, but if you were born here, you might've been brain-washed to think it's edible. It's the primary reason I am afraid to go to Italian restaurants, as many will sub this in to dishes (i.e. chicken parm).

Just an FYI, I'm going to try to talk to Kujie or do something to hopefully revive this project, since it hasn't been updated in ages.

I would totally met anyone here for a beer (or several). ~500 beers in the bottle (from Stag to Belgians beers), and 40 on tap. But the draughts change really, really frequently (except Guiness...Guiness is always on tap for some reason).

If you're on a Teet run, we can do Merb's thing and get custard at Ted Drewe's.

Fabulous beer list, a Belgian tap room upstairs, good pub food, sidewalk tables in a hipster part of town, and just the right distance from home to stop for a beer toward the end of a bike ride. Though the bike part probably wouldn't apply to visiting folks.

I live in Franklin, OH, but consider myself a Cincinnatian, since there's nothing in Franklin.

A little upscale - they have fantastic food, and always have a good list of beers on tap. Last time I went, this included beers such as Dogfishhead 90 minute IPA and Palo Santo Marron, LaChouffe (a Belgian), and a bunch that I forget, including Dark Horse, Bells, and Left Hand.

Also awesome - and cheaper, and more down-to-earth (although it's a chain spanning most of Ohio as well as some other places) - is Dewey's pizza - they have fantastic pizzas, and also always have a great tap list that rotates quite frequently, so that I usually get to try something new.

Approximately equally north and south from my house, respectively, i present for your consideration my two bars.

El Norte

Seattle WA 98125
Super tasty Mexican food, Mexican beer on tap, tasty cocktails (one of the bartenders likes to experiment; best so far was a ginger vodka + lemon + mint concoction), a back deck with flowers and blue Christmas lights for nice days, excellent music generally in the swing and Sinatra end of the spectrum. Dark and intimate; the owner is super gothy and has a DJ playing industrial and electronic music on full moons. One of the bartenders plays cribbage with us on slow nights! If it's a Tuesday night at the late end, I'm probably here.

Wedgwood Ale House

Straight up delicious bar food, with daily specials that are absolutely worth ordering every time. Fantastic bacon. About 20 beers on tap at all times, and they're all good (wine and cocktails as well, but not as good). Spire Dark & Dry Cider on permatap and I drink it like water. Almost always soul and motown on the stereo. My brother calls it an "old people Wedgwood bar" but I love it (as does he, as they don't give him the stinkeye for getting Cokes instead of beers, and it's a bar you can talk at). Nearly every Wednesday night I am here!

I know where the bars you speak of are, but I've never been inside them. I'm not a big fan of bars, or restaurants, but if there is a Chicago-area meet-up of AFH/AFHk/friends/provisional clan members, I could stop being so darn cheap.

For lack of anything better to offer, the establishment I frequent the most is:

3) The bars around here are all crappy, but Taj Okinawa (544-5 Kokutai-Kinen Rd, Chatan-Cho, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan) has awesome Indian food, and handily kicks the asses of the local curries. Also, the beaches here on Oki are pretty nice, I'm told. You should all come visit.

Yes please! I travelled Japan with friends at the end of last year, and loved it.

Only got as far south as Nagasaki though, island hopping is a must-do for next time (unfortunately unlikely for a while for monetary reasons, and wanting to experience hanami and visiting Himeji castle when it isn't covered up by a huge tarp ><).

I currently live in Central London, most of the places I frequent are studenty however here's a nice cosy one in Islington:

27 Arlington Way
City of London
Greater London
EC1R 1UY
United Kingdom
Tube/Subway: Angel

Very british feel, and not far at all from the tourist destinations

I walk very close by there pretty much every weekday! I should try it sometime...

There's a very cool bar pretty close to that called the Dovetail (EC1V 4JP) which I've been enjoying lately.

The bar I mentioned above is next to where I study, but I live near:
The Hare
Langton Rd
Royal Tunbridge Wells
TN3 0JA

which is a very nice gastro-pub. Although the food isn't cheap, it's very good quality and there's always a good selection of beers on offer.
